Chapter 193: No one cares
Children are always a very cute group of people, of course, in the case of they don't cry or make trouble, the children in the nursery center are almost all orphans, of course, there are some who are sick, and the family is unable to support them, and they move here.
But these children are still really cute, Jiang Yang and their NBA players are here, in addition to playing with the children, and helping them build a new home, I usually don't see it, these people are all generalists, basically like Jiang Yang, they just brush the house, like Nowitzki, Deron Williams, Zach Randolph, Channing Fry, they are all just brushing the house, forget it, in addition to them, there are some special races.
For example, Gerard Wallace can fix the wardrobe, Tim Duncan can fix the toys in the yard, etc.
Under the photos of the reporters, Jiang Yang and they did a good job, and after returning to the hotel, Jiang Yang also told the three girls about today, and also had a good meal, originally the next day was the rookie challenge, but because Jiang Yang and they were going to celebrate the New Year, the alliance deliberately asked Jiang Yang to report in the afternoon, which also gave Jiang Yang the opportunity to watch TV in the hotel.
After watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating dumplings, Jiang Yang came to the Cowboy Stadium to prepare for the Rookie Challenge! And those fans in China have also gone to sleep after watching TV, but they have already set the alarm clock.
For the Jiang Yang Rookie Challenge broadcast on the first day of the Lunar New Year, these fans are very happy to watch.
In the Rookie Challenge a year ago, the first-year team led by OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose lost 116-122 to the second-year team led by Kevin Durant at the time. Considering that the 2nd graders haven't beaten the 2nd grade team since the 2002 Rookie Challenge, the 2nd graders have not won the latter 103-97, and the 2nd graders will certainly want to stay in Dallas to continue their dominance in the tournament and make it an eight-game winning streak at the 2nd grade team in the Rookie Challenge.
However, before the game started, Derrick Rose had already determined that he would not participate in the Rookie Challenge, because he had to prepare for the All-Star Game with all his might, in fact, this seemed really unnecessary to Jiang Yang, because Jiang Yang knew that you are a rookie, even if you participate in the All-Star, you are also a soy sauce player, what else is there to prepare for? It's better to play the Rookie Challenge to make an MVP.
But even so, the sophomore team still has more reasons to be optimistic before the game, the first lineup from the lineup, the sophomore team takes care of both inside and outside, even if there is no Rose in the backcourt, there are still Mayo, Westbrook and Eric Gordon pressing, the inside line sits and throws Brook Lopez, Kevin Love and Mark Gasol These three towers, this lineup is supplemented by Michael Beasley and Anthony Morrow's impact on the front line, and Danilo Gallinari's cold arrow on the periphery, People can't see any reason why they lost to the CPPCC, but looking at the lineup of the first-year team, it makes people laugh and cry a little when they look at it.
Originally, this year's champion Griffin should have been a good inside line if he was here, but unfortunately he is gone...... Without him, there is no orthodox interior in the whole team, and the guards are in a state of being in a bunched state, from Jonny Flynn to James Harden, from Tyrek Evans to Stephen Curry, from Brandon Jennings to Jiang Yang...... And who are the players on their inside? The answer is: Ty Gibson, DeJuan Blair and Younas Jerebko, without exception, they are all coolies of the basket leader in their respective balls, and they really can't fight with the opponent's inside.
But even if you don't have to fight, you have to fight! After introducing all the players, the players on both sides come on the pitch.
The starting lineup on the sophomore side is as follows, with center Brook Lopez, power forward Michael Beasley, small forward Danilo Gallinari, shooting guard OJ Mayo, and point guard Russell Westbrook.
Here's the starting lineup on the first-year side: center DeJuan Blair, power forward Omi Casby, the remaining three are guards, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings and Tyrek Evans, this lineup is ...... It's gone.
At this time in China, the imperial court station also broadcast the game live, after all, with Jiang Yang participating, they still have to give some face, and many fans are after watching the Spring Festival Gala, they got up to watch this game.
Of course, there are also many fans who gave up the Spring Festival Gala and went to bed early just to wait for today's game.
The double-draw combination is actually really not easy, and this Chinese New Year still has to sit in the live broadcast room to broadcast today's game.
"Actually, with Jiang Yang's level, there is no problem at all to play as a starter in the first-year team, but now he is still sitting on the bench, let's see when he plays!" Director Zhang looked at the game that was ready to start on the field, and said to the camera in front of him, after listening to Director Zhang's words, Sun Zhengping next to him also nodded vigorously, indicating that he agreed with Director Zhang's point of view.
As a ' Appetizer', this year's rookie challenge did not pour everyone's appetite, from the beginning of the game, both sides began to be an offensive battle, the rhythm of the game played very fast, so that the score of the court increased alternately, the right to co-opt changed hands many times, as Evans hit three points successfully, the rookie team led 11-9, but Beasley immediately equalized the score with a fast-break dunk, after 13 draws, 15 draws and 17 draws, the sophomore team took the lead in starting the lineup, all the starters except Mayo were replaced, and Love came off the bench immediately after sending a will from the violent dunk, helping the sophomore team to take the leadThe first-year team also made personnel changes subsequently, with Gibbson, Harden, Jonny Flynn and Jiang Yang being substituted.
Because of Jiang Yang's height problem, Jiang Yang played a big forward, and he was indeed the tallest among those small setback guards.
If you look at the three inside lines of the first-year team, the tallest Younas Jerebko is only 2.08 meters, Ty Gibson next to him is only 2.06 meters, and the starting center Dejuan Blair is only 2.01 meters, and Jiang Yang is also 2.01 meters, and he is also an 'inside line'.
Saying that the United States is free, there is no discrimination, and there is no focus on the way out, in fact, it is just talking, for a guy like Jiang Yang, who is neither a draft player nor has any foundation in the league, everyone is still relatively repulsive, especially now that the point guard on the court is Jonny Flynn, this guy is not a good bird.
After he got on the court, he started to attack on his own, and he really didn't have any offensive opportunities, so he gave James Harden a few passes.
For Jiang Yang, who is opposite Lefu, he basically ignores it, but he ignores Jiang Yang, which does not mean that Lefu also ignores Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang's body is indeed good now, with an A+ level, and it can be regarded as a mid-to-upper posture in the league.
But in the face of Lefou, a short and fat man, Jiang Yang's tonnage is a little insufficient! Although Jiang Yang has always called Lefu the white fat man, his strength is true! He has a strong body like a bear, and he also has a very good basketball IQ.
At least he knew that now that Jiang Yang was in the opposite position with him, it must be a weakness, and it was Jiang Yang's weakness that he was fighting for.
After receiving a pass from OJ-Mayo, he sat back, took Jiang Yang back a few steps, and then turned around and hit a jumper!
"Rub, you dare to sit!" Holding his lower abdomen, the one in Lefu just now is indeed quite lethal.
"Try again! Black to death you! Jiang Yang looked at the back of Lefu retreating, and couldn't help but hate secretly.
Originally, he thought that it would be good to participate in such an entertainment competition, but now this Lefu has provoked himself, he has always been on the field, Jiang Yang is bullying others, and he has not been bullied by others, this field must be recovered.
Then the ball advanced to the half, Jiang Yang stretched out and wanted to take the ball to play alone, but after Johnny Flynn glanced at Jiang Yang, he directly ignored Jiang Yang, and hit a layup after breaking through directly, tying the score, Jiang Yang was stunned!
"I'm rubbing, it's really when I'm a transparent person!" Seeing the first-grade team that had retreated back, Jiang Yang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, whoever was ignored by others would not be happy! Jiang Yang looked at the people who retreated back, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, it is estimated that in this situation, he can't be relied on by anyone, so he can only rely on himself!
Jiang Yang's opportunity came soon, Kevin Lefou, who tasted the sweetness of Jiang Yang's last attack, came to single Jiang Yang again this time, and OJ Mayo was also happy to see his inside bullying the other party, so he hoisted the ball into the inside to Lefou.
As soon as Lefu got the ball, he wanted to sit down Jiang Yang like last time, but Jiang Yang's small hand took a step on his waist first, and when Lefu was about to exert himself, Jiang Yang exerted his strength, and instantly Jiang Yang felt his hand chuckle.
It can be seen that Lefu has fine skin and tender meat, Lefu has no defense at all, and was pinched by Jiang Yang, and roared out with a 'whoop'.
And the referee didn't know why he was called, Jiang Yang didn't care what state he was, after directly cutting off the basketball in the opponent's hand, he grabbed it and rushed towards the opponent's half, and now Jiang Yang's speed is not inferior to these rookies at all.
Unless it is an existence that is too fast, with the development of Jiang Yang's A+ balanced surname, it is definitely relatively fast in the alliance.
No one could catch up, and there was no one to defend in the rookie challenge, so Jiang Yang went directly to the inside.
When he stepped on the free throw line, Jiang Yang had already held the ball with both hands, rushed up, one step, two steps, and when the second step was solid with his right foot, Jiang Yang flew up directly, fell directly in the air, and played a horizontal dunk of Jordan at the beginning.
"Beautiful, Jiang Yang's dunk, very stretched, very beautiful, just now after Jiang Yang's defense cut off the ball of Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, he ran directly for a long distance, and won two points for the first-year team!" Director Zhang, who was in the studio, couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at Jiang Yang's violent dunk, the introverted surnames of Chinese players doomed them to not perform in such an all-star game with entertainment surnames, but Jiang Yang looked completely different from Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming's introverts.
However, after Jiang Yang's dunk, there was no chance, because Lefu may have really pinched this time, and he didn't come to Jiang Yang anymore, and on the defensive end, Jiang Yang, who had no way to break the ball, didn't feed him the ball at the entry end.
"I'm going to play point guard!" Jiang Yang could only watch from the court, Jonny Flynn dribbled to the basket, Tyrek Evans dribbled to the basket, Stephen Curry dribbled to the basket, Brandon Jennings dribbled to the basket, James Harden dribbled to the basket...... Nothing to do with yourself! The entire team basically relied on five outside lines to play, and Jiang Yang became a soy sauce player.
And on the inside rebound, Jiang Yang has to admire DeJuan Blair, don't look at this guy's height is about the same as himself, but if he is allowed to grab a good hand, then he can grab a rebound, and Jiang Yang may grab it for a month.
This guy's rebounding sense is really scary, at least in Jiang Yang's opinion, this guy was born for rebounds.
No wonder this guy yelled at the media before the game, 'I'm going to win every rebound in the game' and wasn't sprayed, his rebounding sense is really sharp, and he often puts rebounds in his arms against a bunch of big men on the other side.
On the other hand, Jiang Yang's side is a little tepid, Jiang Yang is a point guard, you let him play power forward now, he is really not adaptable.
The situation between the two sides is not good with Jiang Yang! It wasn't until the second half of the first half that things changed! Beasley's offense stalled after two free throws to give the sophobies a 37-36 lead, and gave the first-year team a 46-39 lead with 6:24 left in the first half.
Obviously, he ran in front, but the ball still only hit DeJuan Blair and did not look for himself, which made Jiang Yang really helpless.
International players are indeed excluded on the field, look at the second-year team's Gallinari and Marc Gasol, they also have very little playing time, and now giving Jiang Yang good playing time is already more right.
DeJuan Blair led a 7-0 run after a dunk, helping the first-year team extend the score to 10!
But then Gordon scored four points in a row, and the sophomore team once chased the score to 51-55, but Jennings then scored six points in a row, and a round of 10-2 attack wave allowed the first-year team to lead the opponent by as many as 12 points at 65-53, Lefou's layup, Cosby turned and hit a jumper, and the first-year team led the opponent by 12 points at 67-55 at halftime, Jiang Yang played 8 minutes and 06 seconds in the first half, did not receive an active pass, and all the statistics were 2 points and 1 assist, An international player like Jiang Yang is indeed unwelcome.
At halftime, the more Jiang Yang thought about it, the more he held his breath, he was now studying, how to let the second-year team catch up with the score at the same time, and then let himself be suppressed? Originally, Jiang Yang came here to compete, but he didn't have any ideas.
But seeing his 'teammates' bullying people like this, he was a little unhappy, Jiang Yang don't look at cowardice, but he is very tough, everything he recognizes must be done, since he is not welcome now, then he doesn't need to let them be treated, just come by himself! While Jiang Yang made up his mind, the game on the field also started again.
The All-Star Rookie Challenge is a more old-fashioned way of basketball, not like now, a game of 48 minutes, divided into four quarters, to be played in turn, they are now only divided into two halves, no rest time in between.
The first half led 67-55, after the start of the second half, the first-year team still took the initiative, although the second-year team once narrowed the gap to 10 points, but Curry stepped up and immediately resolved the opponent's hope of a comeback, after he scored seven points in a row, the first-year team led by up to 16 points at 81-65 at the end of the second half with 16 minutes and 14 seconds left, Westbrook scored four points in a row, helping the second-year team narrow the gap to 11 points, that is, Harden and Jennings respectively attacked, They helped the first-year team maintain a 15-point lead that passed quickly, and with 10:24 left to go, Jennings hit the 100-point mark with a 100-86 lead.
In the next few minutes, the defense of the two teams strengthened, the sophomores finally began to chase points, they finally found a feeling outside the three-point line, Westbrook hit two three-pointers in twenty seconds, Beasley also scored four points, a round of 10-2 counterattack** let the sophomore team chase the score to 116-108 and eight points, at this time the first-year team asked for a timeout, Jiang Yang got the opportunity to play again, but he still played the No. 4 position that he was very reluctant to play, Looking at Kevin Durant, who was sitting on the sidelines as an assistant coach, Jiang Yang was speechless...... He told him that he likes to play PG, but he still put himself on PF, although PF and PG are only one word apart, but they are two completely different fighting concepts.
"If you don't let me play PG, I won't be able to play on the court? Hum! Seeing Durant looking at the lights on the roof of the court, Jiang Yang snorted secretly, came to the court step by step, and looked at Terek Ace, who was holding the ball on the court, and snorted coldly.
Feeling Jiang Yang's fiery gaze, Evans couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum, and dribbled to speed up the pace of his attack.
